As part of the installation of the new heating system, power will be turned off in the building off and on over the next couple of weeks; power will be turned off completely on October 1 all day and night, and October 2 all day. If extra time is needed, the power will also be turned off during the morning of October 3.
New Heating System for Sanctuary and Church Hall
The church heating system is being switched over from the boiler to a forced-air system. All of the radiators have been removed and ductwork is being installed. Heating will come from two external units; a rooftop unit over the Choir Room, and one on the Suffolk Street (north) lawn. Installation should be completed in October; during installation, electricity to the building will be interrupted periodically, and will be off completely October 1 and 2.
Stairwell Enclosure and Emergency Exit
The Stairwell Enclosure at the south end of the Christian Education wing is now finished but it is intended for Emergency Exit ONLY from the Basement of the CE wing; anyone opening the CE wing Basement door will set off a door alarm. The upper door at ground level is kept locked at all times, but can be opened from the inside by using the door’s panic bar.
